The past decade has provided remarkable advances in the field of radiation sensor systems and born witness to new and innovative applications of these technologies. Remote sensor systems have been used for areas as diverse as the study of the composition of asteroids in space, homeland defense technologies, environmental protection, forensic sciences, and commercial applications. These proceedings were peer reviewed.
